Abstract in Portuguese
O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a estrutura e função das sete proteínas parálogas compostas por domínios PAS e GGDEF (genes LIC_11125 a LIC_11131) presente em cepas de Leptospira interrogans sorovar Copenhageni (agente etiológico da zoonose Leptospirose), as quais possuem assinatura GG(D/E)EF responsável pela produção do segundo mensageiro bacteriano c-di-GMP, sendo que o domínio PAS regula a atividade do domínio GGDEF. Neste trabalho foi possível identificar o dipeptídeo brevianamida F (ciclo L-prolina L-triptofano) sintetizada por fungos (dentre os quais encontra-se Aspergillus fumigatus) que interage com a LcdD (codificada pelo gene LIC_11128) coordenando a interação proteína-proteína entre os domínios LcdBPAS, LcdCPAS e LcdDPAS, modificando a provável heterodimerização entre esses domínios. Além disso, foi possível obter diferentes culturas de L.interrogans sorovar Copenhageni, na qual uma expressa a LcdD, e a outra não; de forma que a cultura cuja bactéria expressa a LcdD não apresenta alterações morfológicas após adição de brevianamida F ao cultivo em meio EMJH, mas a cultura que não expressa a proteína apresenta alterações morfológicas e diminuição da curva de crescimento. Logo, é possível levantar a hipótese de que a presença da LcdD esteja relacionada a um mecanismo de resistência da L. interrogans sorovar Copenhageni a presença da toxina fúngica brevianamida F.

Abstract in English
The aim of this work is to study the structure and function of seven parallel proteins composed by PAS and GGDEF domains (genes LIC_11125 to LIC_11131) present in strains of Leptospira interrogans serovar Copenhageni (etiological agent of the zoonosis Leptospirosis), which have a signature GG(D/E)EF responsible for the production of the second bacterial messenger c-di-GMP, with the PAS domain regulating the activity of the GGDEF domain. In this work, it was possible to identify the dipetid brevianamide F (L-proline L-tritophane cycle) synthesized by fungi (among which is found Aspergillus fumigatus) that interacts with LcdD (encoded by the LIC_11128 gene) coordinating the protein-protein interaction between the LcdBPAS, LcdCPAS and LcdDPAS,domains, modifying the probable heterodimerization between these domains. In addition, it was possible to obtain different cultures of L.interrogans serovar Copenhageni, in which one expresses the LcdD, and the other dont express this protein; so that the culture whose bacterium expresses LcdD does not show morphological changes after adding brevianamide F to the culture in EMJH medium, but the culture that does not express the protein shows morphological changes and reduced growth curve. Therefore, it is possible to raise the hypothesis that the presence of LcdD is related to a resistance mechanism of L. interrogans serovar Copenhageni to the presence of the fungal toxin brevianamide F.
